The Netherlands and Belgium In Minecraft Is Insane

Ok

[@cyrildewaha]

PippenFTS, I don't understand why all that neglect for Luxembourg? There was a Luxembourgish (and not "Luxembourgian") team working also on the project for Luxembourg. So why not mentioning the name of our country in the title of the video? Why showing the City of Luxembourg, along with the country in the project logo and pronouncing our country's name multiple times, only not to include it in your video title? Plus, some of the informations your shared were wrong: - "place di armas" is actually called "Prëss d'Ärem", - The fire was in 1555, so in the XVIth century not in the XVth century, - We aren't called "Luxembourgians" but "Luxembourgers" - Luxembourg hasn't been judged as the "greatest fortress in the world", it was the CITY that was the fortress, NOT the COUNTRY. There is a big difference between the two. - The Fortress of Gibraltar was not even close to the size of the Fortress of Luxembourg. However Gibraltar became a very strategic location due to its geographical situation as well as its Fortress on top. Same was for the case of Luxembourg, it was well defended and definitely well positioned too. - "After Napoleon [...] they gave it to Prussia. No Luxembourg wasn't given to Prussia, actually Prussia wasn't even a country itself, but rather a confederation of semi-independent German states. Not until the German unification in 1871 at least, which Luxembourg wasn't part of. However Luxembourg was indeed promised to Wilhelm I by the Congress of Vienna in 1815, which's primary goal was to redistribute the former conquered territories by Napoleon during the First French Empire (also called the Premier Empire). So even there, you got it wrong. You literally got everything wrong about our country, do not ever talk about our country again. Americans are always the same, uncultured and uninformed.

[@dutchmapping163]

@@-JBYT- No, Amsterdam has always been the capital of the Dutch state and the government has always been in The Hague. Utrecht has always been a major city, but the only time it's been a capital was when Utrecht had its own prince-bishopric centuries before a Dutch state was founded.

Star shaped forts are shaped that way because they have no blind spots along the walls. This was useful when they were constructed in the medieval period in case they were attacked.

[@mitchelvanwijk]

Mooie video Pippen 👍🏻🇳🇱

[@Justicsgenie]

The reason why so many fortesses are star shaped is because it provides better protection against cannon fire as the sloping walls distribute the impact of the cannon balls on a bigger surface area as opposed to straight walls where the impact of the cannon balls is more concentrated on a smaller area.

Pippen: "What if I told you there was a country in Europe that should be COMPLETELY underwater" Pippen literally right after: "Well in the Netherlands HALF of its terrain is below sea level"

[@NoUsername-470]

The reason old forts are like that are because they are Starforts. Those exist to provide overlapping fields of fire meaning that no matter what side a force is attacking from they will always being taking return fire frim a defending force.

[@JohVih]

[@cintamaria6999]

It may be a good idea to redo your script for this video and do your own research. This video is riddled with mispronunciations and faulty information. Just as a couple of examples: Utrecht isn’t the capital of the Netherlands, that’s Amsterdam and I’m pretty sure the Atomium in Brussels wasn’t originally built to be “sciency” but for the world’s fair and to celebrate the atomic age. I just want your videos to improve because the visuals are stunning but the voice overs are like someone relayed this information to you and you just blindly go along with it.

[@PippenFTS]

If I was prioritizing this channels success, I would stop this series immediately and u-turn my current content trajectory with something totally different, since each video with its abysmal view-rate is killing my platform. But I said I would promote the community with this final series, and I will upload all of the episodes, even if it kills my channel. Also everyone can't seem to stop talking about the pronunciation. This series showcases hundreds, maybe a thousand different locations, figuring out how to basically speak that many names across over a dozen foreign languages is just an absurd expectation I feel, yet people expect it of me, and everyone seems so upset about it. I'm cool with it. I wont miss this.
